MARCH 2021 - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT BEFORE CONTACTING US

We are currently subject to the province wide Covid restrictions.  Sadly, live performance events will be the last industry to re open.  We are doing all we can to keep this theatre alive.  

POSTPONEMENTS of all shows - your existing tickets will be honoured for the new dates which can be found in CALENDAR in the menu above.  We thank you for your patience as most shows have been postponed more than once.  Know that this is as difficult and frustrating for us as it is for you.  PLEASE click on Calendar to get your new date. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign up for our mailing list by scrolling down this page and clicking on the link.  This means we have your up to date contact information.  Many people opted out of receiving emails which meant we weren't able to send all of our newsy emails to some patrons.  You will not be bothered with daily spammy emails - typically we send out an email campaign once per month.  

REFUNDS as per what is printed on your original tickets and what has been policy for a decade - there are NO REFUNDS on postponed shows.  There are optional refunds for cancelled shows.  Thankfully we have cancelled only one show and in that case every single ticket buyer was gracious to accept a gift certificate or a ticket for another show.   We realize that in exceptional circumstances such as financial strain during COVID that we do have to issue refunds in some cases - and have to date processed over $15,000 in refunds.  We made the decision that every refund will have a $10.00 refund fee.  This money does NOT go to Festival Hall - although we wish it did as we have zero ticket revenue for the past year.  This money goes to ticketing software charges, including Paypal which is our gateway for online tickets.  Paypal charges 3.9 percent of the ticket price.  Credit cards are similar.  Ticketing software charges, printing of cancelled tickets/confirmation, and in some cases the writing of cheques or email transfer fees all come at a cost - a cost we can NOT cover.  Many venues are offering no refunds.  We are trying to make everyone happy.  

WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR SPACE RENTAL FOR UP TO 50 for private functions.  Need a safe space with plenty of distancing for a movie with your friends?  A corporate meeting or training event?  Private trivia night, workshop or music?  Guests will have to follow strict distancing, screening and safety protocols - but we have tons of room for everyone to gather safely.  We've also purchased and installed signage, plexiglass, sanitation stations, directional stickers and more. Email us at events@festhall.ca for more details. 

In the meantime, please consider supporting us in one of many ways.
